Lyrics
Over Me
I bet you thought you were over me
but I?m creeping up the stairway in your mind
I?m still captive in the prison of your heart
you can taste me in the scarlet of you wine
I bet you thought you were over me
but I?m the blues that?s stuck inside your head
the gentle whisper that falls upon your shoulder
then hides away ?neath your bed
[bridge]
one day you?ll wake up in the hollow of the morning
shake all the sadness like raindrops from your hair
morning is screaming
warm sun beaming
you?re daydreaming of a love that once held you there
[solo]
[bridge]
I bet you thought you were over me
but the ticking of the clock will do you in
with just the pictures on the wall to keep you company
blue reminders and still and silent memories
leave you humming a melancholy melody
my darling, your ruin is about to begin
